Fedrigoni is a large paper manufacturer in Italy founded in 1888 by Giuseppe Antonio Fedrigoni, and one of the leading paper companies in Europe. Fedrigoni owns paper mills in Verona, Arco di Trento, Riva del Garda, Fabriano, and Pioraco. Three companies Cartiere Miliani Fabriano, Fedrigoni Cartiere, and Fabriano Securities merged in 2011 to form Fedrigoni S.p.A.[1] In recent years, Fedrigoni has expanded its business in luxury packaging and self-adhesives.[2] The CEO is Marco Nespolo.[3]
In 2011, the firm opened the Institute of Paper History Gianfranco Fedrigoni (ISTOCARTA) in Fabriano.[1]

In November 2022, Fedrigoni acquired Papeterie Zuber Rieder, a Boussières-based manufacturer of specialty papers for wine and spirits labels.[5] The company announced in August 2023 that it would construct an "Innovation Centre" at its headquarters in Verona.[6]
The company has also donated machinery and equipment to the Paper and Watermark Museum in Fabriano.[1]
